1. Scope of Application

These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all services provided by Wingsuit Academy ("Provider"), Bahnhofstrasse 7, 6300 Zug, Switzerland, in connection with the Summit Wings program ("Program"). By registering for or participating in the Program, the participant ("Client") agrees to these GTC.

3. Program Structure and Duration

The Program follows a phased approach with defined checkpoints and skill gates. The estimated duration from zero experience is 180 days. This is a realistic estimate assuming regular availability. The Program can be extended up to approximately one year. Extension beyond three years is not recommended as skills require consistent practice.

The Provider reserves the right to adjust scheduling based on weather conditions, training location availability, and safety considerations.

4. Two-Phase Decision Structure

The Program features a two-phase decision structure:

Initial Phase (Phase 1): Skydiving training and licensing. At the conclusion of this phase, the Client may decide whether to continue into Phase 2.
Main Phase (Phase 2 onward): Wingsuit training through to the apex flight.

If the Client chooses not to continue after Phase 1, a partial refund may apply as defined in the Program Agreement.

5. Pricing and Payment

The program fee is as published on the website or as individually agreed in the Program Agreement. All prices are in EUR unless stated otherwise. VAT is included where applicable under Swiss law.

Payment terms:

A deposit is due upon signing the Program Agreement
Milestone payments are structured according to program phases
Final payment is due prior to the apex flight phase

Specific payment amounts and schedules are defined in the individual Program Agreement.

6. Cancellation and Refund

Cancellation by Client:

Before program start: Full refund minus a reasonable administrative fee
After Phase 1 completion: Partial refund as specified in the Program Agreement
During Phase 2 for medical reasons (documented by a licensed physician): Partial refund, prorated based on completed training milestones, as defined in the Program Agreement
During Phase 2 for non-medical reasons: No refund for completed milestones; unused prepaid phases refundable minus administrative costs

Cancellation by Provider:

The Provider may terminate the Program if safety cannot be guaranteed, if the Client fails to meet medical or fitness requirements repeatedly, or if the Client's behavior endangers themselves or others
In case of Provider-initiated termination, a prorated refund applies for uncompleted phases

7. Safety and Liability

Medical screening prior to program entry
Conservative decision-making policies for all flight activities
Strict operational constraints (weather, wind, visibility)

Progressive skill gates with no advancement without demonstrated competence

The Provider's liability is limited to cases of intentional misconduct or gross negligence. All participants sign a detailed risk acknowledgment and informed consent form. The Provider maintains 3rd party liability insurance for all training activities.

9. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep all aspects of the Program confidential, including the Client's participation, personal information, and program details, unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. No photographs, videos, or identifying information about the Client will be published without written consent.
